How does your game fit the theme?
There is this popular idiom that I am sure almost everyone has heard that goes "Time is money". I just reverse it and made it Money is time. When you run out of money in the game, you die

definitely needs some balancing. In my experience if the game feels right to you as the creator it’s probably too hard. I have a non gamer friend test things out because it really helps with intuitive design.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, that is the biggest fault of this game. I will try to improve it next time

Enjoyed the gameplay and great arts and music. Interesting use of the theme but I understood it only after reading how is the theme implemented. Overall great game! Well done

Developer

Thankyou!

The game is very enjoyable, I think it is not so related to the theme of the game jam, but I liked the music, the sounds and the mechanics; it is an entertaining game.

Thankyou so much!

Loved the level with the pile of money right to the left u have to kinda stumble across. The balance between playing it safe to avoid dying and going quickly to avoid running out of cash is really fun, and the overall vibe was just sick! Great work :)

Developer

Thankyou. Glad you liked it :)

Have to say, this is one of the finest game I have seen from the batches of Unity games entering this jam.

The game is quite hard, sure, but not impossible. In fact, it’s pretty enjoyable actually from my view.

The game also requires you to consciously paying attention to both money and your HP, which I think makes the game a bit more challenging yet still keeping it fun.

Overall, a decent game. Not the best game out there, but better than most.

Developer

Thankyou so much!

Fun game! I especially liked the secret money in the wrong direction at the start of one of the levels, nice touch. It was difficult in parts, but it was fun replaying the levels over and finding the best approach to get to the end in time. I had fun, nice work

Developer

Thankyou. It means a lot

Quite fun, but way way way too difficult. Especially for a game jam game. The rule of thumb, if you as a designer can do it easily, then it might be the right difficulty for the player.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I will take note of that :)

While I think the concept is quite interesting, I'm gonna be very honest here, I didn't really enjoy playing this. The execution is quite lackluster especially in terms of balancing, the gun deals too little damage and the enemies have way too much health for a game where you are literally racing against the clock. The art direction is rather inconsistent, with an art style that ins't consistent and assets that don't match up. The sounds could be improved but they are fine for what they are meant to represent. Basically, this game needs polishing and balancing.

Feedbacks like these are truly appreciated. It gives me an insight on my games flaws instead if just the good parts. Thanks a lot for trying out my game. I appreciate it and I will try my best in the future to avoid such flaws. Thanks once again! 

Submitted

nice game, quite challenging too, although wish guns did more damage, was quite hard to spam click

Submitted

How did you fit all of this polish into 48 hours wow

Developer(+1)

Didn't even have 48 hours because half of one of the days was spent on school assignments. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Great Game, I spam the gun so much that my fingers hurt! xd <3

Definitely needs some balancing, but I like the idea here and had a lot of fun playing.

A few things I'd say to improve:

  • Some kind of reticle or line to help see where I'm aiming
  • More forgiving enemy spawns - at the start of some levels and after jumping into pits I'd get ambushed with very low chance of survival
  • Auto fire - tapping repeatedly gets tiring, especially when tapping as fast as possible is the best strategy
  • Collision glitches - enemies got stuck in walls, and occasionally time pickups fell through the floor
Developer(+1)

Thanks for the extensive feedback. These types of reviews are greatly appreciated.

 I will try and implement a line for aiming after the jam is over.  The enemy spawning was intentional because I thought the game would become too easy, but it just happened to be the exact opposite. I had initially implemented autofire, but continuously spamming fire made the game too easy to play so I removed it. I guess the best way to counter it would be limited ammo. And lastly for the collision glitches, that was fully on me because I saw them and I knew about them but just didn't have enough time to fix them.
Thanks a lot for the feedback once again. This was truly appreciated

It was fun! It has a really good concept with the fact of the use of the idiom “time is money” taken literally. The one thing I would add is a healthbar over each enemy but all in all, Well Done!

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback. i really wanted to add that health bar but what can I say.... I ran out of "money"

Nice One!

Submitted

Idea good, but enemy damage is a bit punishing :D Balance will do the job.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I have been told by some others about that too. Really appreciate this comment!
